The Sociopathic Democracy of Gunorium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mister Scoops with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 20.781 billion Gunorians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kablewyville. The average income tax rate is 58.7%.
The frighteningly efficient Gunoriumian economy, worth an astonishing 14,363 trillion Miltary Rounds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 691,200 Miltary Rounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.
Cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, and the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only. Crime is totally unknown. Gunorium's national animal is the Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Gun Runners.
Gunorium is ranked 624th in the world and 16th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 287.01 quips per hour.
